First Fridays Science Discussion | Natural History Museum Of Los Angeles

This responsibility has shifted; now you may take control. The tools are simple: smart phones, digital recorders, shared networks, data loggers, and apps. Participating in Citizen Science projects and focusing on a few key principles can help effect change in a big way.
